☆ WEEK SEVEN

[raisingproject]

Magical Girl Raising Project

Monday-Friday, Week 7

4 REMAIN

Four people left. There are finally four people left. It's the magic number that Fav gave to everyone to end the game. But the game is still going, as the final four awaken from their slumber in Town A. It's quiet, absurdly so. At least... at first.

"Four people remain," the voice comes out of the intercom, the voice of the one everyone knows as M at around 10 in the morning. "In regards to the killer, I have found them and captured them. They will not be killing anybody any longer. Now that there are four of you, I shall test you, for the final investigation and trial, to see if you are worthy of leaving. You will have to retake the trial you failed and continue with a trial to figure out the killer of those seven people and the truth of this place. The locations ahead of you have been opened, and I will not give you any false clues. You have until Saturday. You may also find new clues around the town as well if you look. Good luck."

And just as she's said, if anybody looks outside and goes far north, they'll find the impurity gone - not just there, but almost everywhere - replaced with brand new locations, just like most weeks prior.

Monday

Morning - North Apartments
[ .... you know, the impurity blocking the door of her room being gone isn't all that bad a thing to wake up to. Jumping out of the window had held its own appeal, but it got old pretty fast, like a lot of things here.
Miach feeds Foucault and Pikachu (the other Pokemon are left within their balls for convenience's sake) and then leaves them to play with each other. She'd been doubtful at first about their compatibility but they seem to get along just fine. So why not. Less for her to take care of all day.

Grabbing Fornicaras, which she currently carries strapped to her back because that is the only way she can reasonably deal with its size in daily life, Miach sets out to leave the house. But first, she does a quick check of the apartment complex to see if the other impurities are gone. If there's anything else off there, she'll notice now. ]

Morning - Library
[ She walks into the building and her first thought is 'seriously??' and it comes even before the joy of finally having something to read. This is too much and too late in the game and the idea that this was there the whole time, locked from her, is frustrating.
Another thing that is frustrating is how small the library makes her feel. In her worlds, books made her feel big and privilege. She had printed every single one in her collection herself, they were a testament to her dedication to her own doings. Now she stands among the amassed treasures of another, crushed by the gigantic weight of how much she doesn't yet know.

After a second of thought, that makes her laugh. Yes, this kind of feeling, this kind of discomfort.... how beautifully the Japan of her time had shielded her from it. But here, she's alive. She has to fend for herself against these odds and nobody is there to make them seem any less intimidating.

So, of course, she spends the next few hours giving cursory looks through all the rooms of the library. ]

Afternoon - Graveyard
[ Seems like a worthwhile place to pass by on the way back. Miach enjoys the atmosphere that speaks of old history and the inevitable nature of sickness and death. Despite the exhaustion that is washing over her here, she makes a point to skip and jump through the rows of tombstones, paying attention to the names and lifespans (if shown) of the deceased. Dead, dead, dead again. Because people were never meant to live forever. ]

Evening - Restaurant
[ Miach skipped lunch due to her library escapade and by now she's feeling lightheaded. Going without food for too long has always done a number on her well-being. So it's time to stuff herself on a meal with the triple helping of rice as compared to what would normally be served. Yay. ]

Tuesday

Early morning to early evening - Library
[ Find Miach in the library, wrapped in Dahlia's shawl for comfort (the bloodstains are still visible on it even though it has been washed) and with Fornicaras leaning against a wall next to her. She's reading. There's so much reading. She also brought snacks in order to avoid skipping meals like yesterday.
If you're in the library today, you might stumble over Miach lazing just about anywhere, book in hand, other books by her side, munching on some peanuts. ]

Evening - Inn Bath House
[ Miach is taking a lengthy bath as she does every once in a while when showering doesn't feel enough. That's... all that is happening here. ]

Wednesday

Morning - Morgue
[ Just passing by here quickly for nostalgia's sake, shh. And to see if anyone has messed with any of the lockers lately. And maybe to say hi to a few buddys' corpses, shhh. ]

Morning - Inn
[ Time for some amateur necromancy! Miach will go first to Dahlia's room and then to Szayel's room and repeat the same procedure in both:

She'll put down a notebook and write the words This is Miach. Can you talk to me without exerting too much energy? yes/no down. She'll also repeat the out loud. And then wait for a bit. It's worth a shot? ]

Rest of the day - Library
[ She's really gotten cozy in here. Reading is good, you know? Today Foucault and Pikachu are with her. ]

library

[raisingproject]

[There are a few things that Miach will notice upon arriving inside the crystal library. The first is the fact that everything is literally made of crystal, outside of the books. The second is that there's a large podium near the front of the library with a large rectangle indent.

All the way north is a spiral staircase upstairs, along the sides of the staircase seems to be pillars holding glass statues of people. The only person she might recognize is Inaba, as she's the only one who's been seen with a face.]

[imitationsoul]

[ Crystal seems like the weirdest material ever to build a library from, but okay. We'll take that.

The statues are weird. How many are there in total? Miach might only recognize one of them, but there seems to be little doubt about what they depict at least.

And the bookshelves - what kinds of books can Miach see on first glance? ]

[raisingproject]

[There's at least forty statues.

As for the bookshelves, the first floor seems to provide with the non-fiction. In fact, one of the books falls off the shelf. Would you like to take a look?]

[imitationsoul]

[ Things moving on their own have been quite significant so far, so.... what do we have here? ]

[raisingproject]

[On the floor, the fallen book seems to be this.]

[imitationsoul]

[ ??

Anything unusual about it when she slips through it? ]

[raisingproject]

[Not in the slightest bit. It's pretty much what it says on the tin.]

[imitationsoul]

Precipitation, huh....

[ Creating a solid from a solution? Well, considering to Miach the dead are strongly associated with being liquefied and this liquids, this is reeking of revival in some form.

For the moment being, Miach will grab this book to keep it with her and contemplate more as she goes further into the library. Speaking of which, when she moves forward and more towards exploring the second floor, does anything happen? ]

[raisingproject]

[Well there's a key on the staircase; one labeled 25.]

[imitationsoul]

[ Well! That was easy.

Time to pick this up and move to second floor. What kind of books do we have here? ]

[raisingproject]

[Fiction. There's also one more floor above this one.]

[imitationsoul]

[ Provided no more books fall out of shelves or statues jump to her eye, Miach will check out that third floor now. ]

inn

[raisingproject]

[In Dahlia's room, you'll get a mark with the pen (or pencil, whichever was used...) next to the yes.]

[imitationsoul]

[ Miach smiles at that. Definitely a start.

Then she'll begin writing down the entire alphabet for Dahlia to make use of in spelling things. 'Yes' and 'no' as well as numbers from 0-9 are also added.

Finally she writes: "You can just tap the letters, I am definitely watching. Is there anything useful to find in the afterlife right now? Letter contact seems to have ceased."

First things first. Chatting can come later. ]

[raisingproject]

[One by one some letters get tapped to spell out words.

Rules. Ritual prep. Low mana.]

[imitationsoul]

[ So.... more than they can say for progress over here, got it.

"I'd be delighted if the ritual was a success and we could see to M's bloody demise together.

What happens to ghosts who break rules?"

... because maybe Dahlia could send someone else to-- ]

[raisingproject]

[The letters continue to be tapped, forming:

We will. No return. Sadly they all know.]

[imitationsoul]

[ Too bad..... Well next thing, because that is important to her understanding of the message:

Was it you who dropped the books at the library? ]

[raisingproject]

[The one about winter was me. Killer crabs was Eliza.]

[imitationsoul]

[ .... some more smiling.

Yes, I've been thinking about winter lately. Thank you for the lovely reminder. Crabs though? ]

[raisingproject]

[They're pathetic when they have no arms and legs.]

[imitationsoul]

[ ... ah.

Do crabs like winter? Or could it be that we made a mistake earlier? ]

[raisingproject]

[Crabs have nothing to do with winter. We were wrong.]

[imitationsoul]

[ .... oh.

This... come as a surprise. An awkward one, if they had the capacity to feel awkward. But well. Such is life?

Winter would probably kill crabs with its temperatures anyway. ]
